Very cool. I have talked to more than a few developers interested in connecting various hardware (cameras, legos, etc.) directly to an iPhone. The problem is always the impossibility for an independent developer getting hardware approval from Apple. Hopefully this sidesteps that issue. Also, Redpark's product page seems to be having a hard time responding, so here are some of the specs if it does go down: $79.99 + s/h Features -Enables development of iOS apps for private use in homes, schools and offices -Connects iOS devices to RS-232 serial devices. -Designed for use with iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPod touch (fourth generation), iPad 2 and iPad. -Used in conjunction with the Redpark Serial Cable SDK and sample code. Together these tools enable you to write iOS apps that communicate with serial devices. -One meter long cable. -Male DB-9 connector. -Supports communication at speeds up to 57.6 Kbps. -Requires iOS 4.3.x or later. -Mintronics Survival Pack. -P4 RS232 to TTL board. https://www.makershed.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=MSRP02 https://www.makershed.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=MSR...
